Step 1: Log In to Your Netflix Account
First things first, make sure you’re logged in to your Netflix account. Head to the Netflix website and enter your email address and password. Once you’re in, we can proceed to the next step.
Step 2: Navigate to Your Profile
After logging in, you’ll be taken to the main Netflix screen. Look at the top right corner and you’ll see your profile picture. Click on it, and a dropdown menu will appear. From there, select “Account.” We’re getting closer!
Step 3: Select Your Preferred Profile
On the Account page, scroll down until you find the “Profile & Parental Controls” section. Under this section, you’ll see all the profiles linked to your account. Choose the profile that you want to change the language for.
Step 4: Language Settings
Once you’ve selected the profile, scroll down again until you see the “Language” option. Click on the arrow next to it to reveal the available language options. Look out for “English” and select it.

Now that you’ve changed the language to English, don’t forget to save your changes. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and hit the “Save” button. Congratulations, you’ve successfully switched back to English!
Voila! You’ve managed to conquer the Netflix language switcheroo. Now you can sit back, relax, and enjoy your favorite shows in English. Isn’t that great? Remember, if you ever want to switch to another language, you can always come back and follow these simple steps. Happy streaming!
Wow, Netflix has really come a long way since it first started. It’s not just a streaming service anymore – it’s basically the king of online streaming. I mean, everyone and their grandma uses Netflix these days.
With around 150 million subscribers worldwide, Netflix is everywhere. They’re even introducing regional Netflix services in different countries all the time. So, you can imagine, there are a lot of Netflix users who speak different languages. Luckily, Netflix officially supports over 20 languages.
But here’s the thing: your Netflix app might not be in the language you want. And that can be pretty frustrating. You don’t want to play a guessing game every time you try to watch something. So, let me break it down for you.
How to Switch Back to English on Desktop/Mobile
Let’s say your Netflix suddenly changed to a language you don’t speak. It happens, right? Well, here’s how you can switch it back to English on your desktop or mobile.
First, you need to go to Netflix’s website and sign in. Then, choose the profile you want to change the language for. Now, hover your mouse over the little arrow in the top-right corner of the screen. A menu will drop down – click on “Account”.
Once you’re on the Account page, scroll down to find “My Profile” section. Look for the “Language” option and click on it.
Now, if you have no clue what any of those words mean because they’re in a foreign language, don’t worry. Instead of fumbling around, just copy and paste this link into your browser’s URL box: https://www.netflix.com/LanguagePreferences
This link will take you directly to the list of all available languages. Find English and select it to switch back. Don’t forget to scroll down and click “Save”. Netflix will take you back to your account page, but this time everything should be in English.
A lot of people prefer watching Netflix on their portable devices these days. Luckily, the language switch works the same way on tablets, whether you’re using Android or iOS. You just need to do it through your browser.
If you followed all the instructions and the changes didn’t work, try signing out of your account and then signing back in. That should fix the issue.
Having Trouble Finding Dubbed or Subtitled Content
As I mentioned before, Netflix is available in many countries and offers content from around the world. It brings in shows and movies from other countries to our Netflix market.
Keep in mind that the availability of dubs and subtitles depends on the creators of the program, not Netflix itself. Netflix simply finds the best dubs and subtitles available.
Some programs don’t have multiple language options, and Netflix has no control over this. The producers and creators decide whether to include dubs. Sometimes the dubs are great, and sometimes they’re terrible.
However, most movies and shows on Netflix have English subtitles available. While most of them are of good quality, some might not be great. Again, Netflix can’t do anything about this. They don’t provide the dubs and subtitles themselves.
If there is a good dub or subtitle available, Netflix will find it for you. But if you want to know how to activate it, here’s a tutorial.
First, choose the program you want to watch. Once it starts buffering and playing, look for the dialog box on the player with writing inside. That’s where you’ll find the options for Audio and Subtitles. Check if English is available in either of these columns, and see if it meets your standards. If it doesn’t, you’ll have to wait for a better release.
Finding Movies in Your Preferred Language
If you want to watch a movie in a specific language, whether you’re learning it, already know it, or simply want to appreciate foreign filmmaking, you can easily filter the programs on Netflix by language.
Thankfully, Netflix has made this process very straightforward. Their search box is intuitive and does a great job of filtering content. For example, if you want to watch a German thriller, just type “german language thriller” into the search box. Remember to add the word “language” after the desired language and include the genre to refine your search.
Why Language Availability Varies by Region
Let’s say you want to watch a Norwegian movie while in Sweden. You find Swedish subtitles for the movie, but when you go to the US, you can’t find those same Swedish subtitles. Why is that?
Well, it may be because the language list can’t display all the available languages. This can be particularly frustrating if you’re watching on a TV without proper remote controls.
Most likely, the subtitles you’re looking for just aren’t available. But you might be wondering, isn’t Netflix the same everywhere? Why would this be an issue?
Well, Netflix isn’t exactly the same worldwide. There are differences in content and release dates. With Netflix being so widely accessible, some of these issues may arise.
If you’re having this problem, contacting tech support might be your best option. They can assist you in finding a solution.
Languages and Netflix: A World of Possibilities
Wow, can you believe that Netflix has a whopping 150 million users worldwide? That’s an incredible number! Just imagine trying to cater to all those users in different countries and regions. It’s no wonder that some languages may not be available everywhere. But don’t worry, because being able to switch to a language you understand is absolutely crucial.
Guess what? If you’re reading this, you probably already know English. And that’s fantastic news because it means you have the power to switch back to English whenever you need to. Easy peasy!
